This article discusses how to include pseudorandomness and true randomness in LTspice® simulations using the flat(), gauss(), and mc() functions, as well as how to use the Use the clock to reseed the MC generator option in the Hacks section of the settings panel. Trade-offs between pseudorandomness and true randomness are discussed, as well as trade-offs between statistical, Monte Carlo-like simulations and more targeted worst-case simulations.

Simplicity and efficiency—even if not the shared pursuit of all designers—are the goals for most. Following the principle that simplicity wins, this article delves into and explores the design prototype of a simple yet efficient active balancing system for battery management systems (BMS).

Hello Embedded Engineers, Developers and Makers! Welcome to In Case You Missed it: Embedded Insights, the weekly news show all about Embedded technologies and solutions from Embedded Computing Design.

The pressure to sustainably feed a growing population worldwide is leading to the adoption of more technology and automation in modern smart farming. Inertial sensors have a role to play in several different applications. Precision inertial measurement units are being used for navigation and stability of the increasing roboticization of the industry, including self-steering tractors, picking robots, drones, etc. Furthermore, wideband inertial sensors can be used for predictive maintenance of all this complex machinery. Lastly, inertial sensors help enable various edge sensing modalities like animal tracking, detecting heat in dairy animals, and vital sign monitoring.

With the increasing power density of electronic circuits and the presence of severe working environments such as high ambient temperatures, thermal performance has become a growing concern for monolithic power products. This article delves into the general thermal concepts of power IC applications and provides quantified thermal analysis of various factors that influence the overall thermal performance.
